Then, the boarding section is set using the operation unit 14 including the first station name setting unit 12 and the second station name setting unit 13 (ST1), and the issuing condition is set using the operation unit 11 ( In ST2), the start button 15 is pressed (turned on) to start the issuing operation (ST3).

The CPU 2 calculates the fare from the set boarding section, issuing conditions, etc. (ST4), reads the issue information for each company shown in FIG. 5 from the magnetic disk 4 (ST5), and all the boarding sections are magnetic. It is determined whether it is a commuter pass (ST6), whether all boarding sections are wireless cards (ST7), or whether there are sections using a magnetic commuter pass and sections using a wireless holder (ST8).

In step ST6, the CPU 2 prints and edits the magnetic information when it determines that the stations of all boarding sections are equipped with automatic ticket gates that process only the magnetic commuter pass (ST9), and the commuter pass hopper. The magnetic commuter pass is taken out from 46 or 47 (ST10), conveyed on the conveying path 48, and printed on the magnetic commuter pass by the printing unit 49 (ST1).
1) Write magnetic information in the magnetic information writing unit 50 (ST1
2) Only the magnetic commuter pass M is released from the issuing port 34 (S
T13).

For example, when the boarding section is from station b to station e in FIG. 4, the railway companies are companies B and C, and FIG.
Looking at the issuance information of B, the magnetic commuter pass M is issued as described in steps ST9 to ST13 because both companies B and C have magnetic commuter passes. That is, at this time, the wireless card is not issued.

In step ST7, the CPU 2 edits the wireless card information when determining that all the boarding sections are wireless cards (ST14), and the wireless card hopper 4
The wireless card is taken out of ST2 (ST15), transported on the transport path 43, the card number reading unit 44 reads the prerecorded wireless card number, and the wireless information writing unit 45 writes the wireless information (ST16). The wireless card C is released from the issuing port 32 (ST17).
